Here's how Serbia plans to 'fool' England  - 1

Serbia striker Dusan Vlahovic (left) reflects on how Serbia can “surprise“ England. His team plans to copy Iceland's game plan in Sunday's Euro 2024 Group C match against England, BTA reports.

Vlahovic, who scored 18 goals in 38 Serie A appearances for Juventus last season, took inspiration from Iceland's 1-0 win over England in a friendly at Wembley. last week.

"No one is invincible, Vlahovic said ahead of the game with England in Gelsenkirchen on Sunday. "We watched the Iceland game and there are things that can be copied from them because they beat them at Wembley in front of 80,000 people. Anything is possible. England are favourites, perhaps the biggest in the tournament, but we believe in ourselves and we are going step by step to present ourselves in the best light. In this way, we have a calmer environment and we can prepare more calmly for the upcoming matches," added Vlahovic.

The 24-year-old added that England captain Harry Kane is one of the best strikers in the world. "I don't want to put pressure on myself and I don't want to compare myself to players like him. Of course it will be a chance for me because I play without pressure. Everyone expects England to win the title, so this is a good opportunity, Vlahovic also shared.
